WildPlaces is pleased to host one of the dozens of SYRCL’s Wild and Scenic Film Festival nationwide. We have selected environmental award-winning films to create a series of environmental documentaries focusing on how we the people can and should take personal responsibility for the rivers all over the world and especially those in our back yard in the Sierra Nevada.

Considered one of the nation’s premiere environmental and adventure film festivals, this year’s films will combine stellar filmmaking, beautiful cinematography and first-rate storytelling to inform, inspire and ignite solutions and possibilities to restore the earth and human communities while creating a positive future for the next generation.

“The Wild & Scenic Film Festival is a tremendous way to educate the public about how fragile our earth really is and that caring for it is all our responsibility.”

Our goal is to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Wild and Scenic River Act of 1968 while also introducing ourselves to the community, to raise funds for our organization, and to promote our mission of stewardship while preserving and protecting our environment and precious natural resources. Please join us and share your thoughts with our audience as a guest speaker to provide further your valuable insight and knowledge on the importance of rivers and their preservation. Here is a list of the films that will be shown along with a brief synopsis to give you a well-rounded idea of what our event will look like.
